Question: P . Whitney , a West Virginia contractor , was under contract with the state of West Virginia to construct State Route 2 near East

P. Whitney , a West Virginia contractor , was under contract with the state of West Virginia to construct State Route 2 near East Steuben- ville, just across the border from Steubenville , Ohio . Because the area was very hilly , Whitney used high explosives , such as dynamite and nitroglycerin , to clear the way for the road. One particularly large blast damaged a store- room of the Steubenville Plate and Window Glass Company, located across the border in Ohio. The damage was extensive , and most of the stored glass was broken and rendered unusable . Keeping in mind that the blasting was done in West Virginia and the damage occurred in Ohio, which state's law will govern the action brought in a West Virginia court by Steubenville Plate Glass against Whitney ?
